Humphry Davy School 27 Jan 2023 We were thrilled to welcome back HDS Alumnus, Lewis Nicholls, to speak with Year 7 students and to work with our Year 11 Film Studies students. Lewis left HDS 18 years ago with one goal in mind, to pursue a career within the media. He has undergone many twists and turns throughout his career but after hard work and pure determination to achieve his dream, he is now a well known media star! Initially working for a local radio station, he decided to contact as many celebrities and agents as possible to ask to work with them. A bold move for a 16 year old, but his tactics certainly paid off and he now interviews celebrities on radio, TV and YouTube for his own show "The Lewis Nicholls Show"! 2023 is shaping up to be a busy year for Lewis, with four red carpet events and many great interviews with celebrities in the pipeline. With a parting message of "Don't let anyone tell you that you cannot do something, work hard and follow your dream and you will get there", Lewis has left our students inspired, motivated and enthused to achieve the best they can. Thank you Lewis, we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Humphry Davy School 18 Jan 2023 On Wednesday last week we welcomed the Onnatti French touring theatre company. French students in Years 8, 9 and 10 watched a performance of La Maison Hantée – The Haunted House. Our students were able to engage in a full theatre experience in the amphitheatre at Penwith College. It was a wonderful opportunity to enhance their language learning! « J’ai regardé la Maison hantée et j’ai bien aime la pièce. A mon avis je crois que c’était très amusant et créatif. » “I watched the Haunted house and I really liked the play. In my opinion, I think that it was very funny and creative.“ Student in Year 10 « J’ai regardé la maison hantée à mon avis je crois que c’était amusant et divertissant. J’ai aimé les blagues en français et l’histoire. » “I watched the haunted house, in my opinion, I think that it was funny and entertaining. I liked the French jokes and the story.” Student in Year 9

The role will involve being responsible for students within a designated indoor or outdoor area; monitoring acceptable standards of behaviour to ensure their safety and wellbeing.
